Career

Hyde moved to Cardiff in the late 1970s to study at Cardiff College of Art. There he formed new wave-synthpop band Freur in 1982 with Rick Smith and Alfie Thomas. The band released two albums, Doot-Doot and Get Us out of Here, before folding. The group relocated to Essex, and renamed themselves Underworld.

In January 2013 Hyde announced the release date for his debut solo album, Edgeland. It was released worldwide on 22 April that year through Universal. It was co-produced by Leo Abrahams.

In 2014 Hyde collaborated with English musician and record producer Brian Eno on the album Someday World, which was released on Warp. The first single from this album, "The Satellites", was released in March 2014. Within weeks of the album's release, it was announced that a second album, High Life, would be released on 30 June (1 July in North America), also through Warp.
